Is it better to hold out? I can't believe that I'm only getting section 106 as the best available. What's up with the floor sections? Where are those?! Every Coldplay tour, the same thing.... With that said, Hellooooo Florida Coldplayers! So wrong to make tickets go on sale during Christmas time!

I like it. It's sexy sounding, no? It's like the electronic sounding cousin to "Yes." It's different, but it's not bad at all. The female vocals are not overpowering and sound really damn good with Chris, to be honest (I was not expecting to like that aspect). Lyrically, it's skies above Paradise. But my one issue: Where are the instruments? This is a rock band...Can I hear Jonny? Can we turn the old lad up, please? Or is he jamming out on the synth? Jonny boy, I still have love for you and your Telecaster. Listening to this one has made me realize that Coldplay want to make music everyone will be into. Not just the sad guys and ladies from the first two albums (me...), but the boys and girls who watch MTV, who text all the time and who don't even buy CD's anymore. I know it's going to sound ridiculous to ask this 'cos they've been one of the biggest bands in the world for years...But does anyone else feel like Mylo Xyloto is going to be their 'mainstream' album? Either way, nothing but love. I shall patiently wait for the rest, and with my hopes still up.

Where can I find this interview? It's probably my favorite verse in that song, I could completely relate to it once I first heard it! The song was quite underwhelming to me at first, but that lyric just made it for me :) Is there a link to him saying something about it?

Si, pero creo que me perdi en el medio de ese post. Alguien contando algo de Chris en la cama? Queee?! :o But none of those links worked althouuuuugh- those pictures of him in the green cap are definitely from that day! I recognize it...But crap. I guess the video was never meant to be shared and is now kept under wraps. Thank you for the link to the post in the old thread about it- See how everyone was saying how it was cute and adorable? Dudes..it really was! LOL. I guess I'll just get over it by listening to them. Mission not accomplished :(

Damn :( I had no idea it was from a magazine, but now that I see that article, it makes sense. I remember the video clip was shot from above looking down, it wasn't necessarily professional, but you don't see those kind of videos of the crowd from random people. But it was a great little clip. Thank you for helping me, though! Maybe someone will read this and I'll get to see it again eventually. It was just awesome to see him acting all dorky on his own. When I first saw it I said "Yeah! I'm not the only one!" How can one person be full of so much awesome? I don't get it.

It wasn't that one, but that's one I've never seen before! LOL, that was great, thank you :-) The one I saw looked like it was taken at an outdoor show, and everyone in the audience was doing some sort of a dance with everyone moving their hands and Chris was all in there not even toward the front, moving his hands and dancing and singing along. And the song sounded very new wave. I remembered I once posted it on my Facebook about 2 years ago and yesterday I scrolled allllll the way down to when I posted it, but the video has since been taken down. I was hoping someone had saved it? I know there's one of him at an Arcade Fire show too; that one's still around. But this one- it was properly quirky/cute/adorable and other words I don't normally use, lol. Has anyone seen it? Just so no one thinks I'm crazy, lols. Thank you for the help!

They just did a little Mas Que Nada at the end of Lost. Jorge Ben must be smiling so hard right now. This is amazing. Can you imagine being there at this moment?

"Tem alguem aqui?" - Chris :) :) :) Legal If he's going to keep speaking Portuguese through this, I don't think I'll be able to make it. Nossa.

Is it on delay, or just lateish? As someone who has lived in Brazil, I can say that in Brazil a lot of things and people are not always super punctual ;)

I thought this would be the right place to ask? I haven't seen it in years: It was an old YouTube video clip of Chris singing and dancing in the crowd at a Depeche Mode (or was it New Order?) show. It was funny and I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I found it adorable. Does anyone know of this little clip, or where I can see it again? I can't find it on YouTube and googling hasn't gotten me anywhere either. The pictures are a nice comfort, though. Gracias gracias gracias...This thread always makes me smile, lol :)

Since I first saw Coldplay, I've been begging for it: Crests of Waves. That and Spies in a Coldplay set, and I'm good to go for the rest of my life.

I mostly just lurk to myself here, and don't come out to say much. But seeing Coldplay Saturday at Music Midtown was absolutely amazing. I know a lot of people have seen them before, and this was my sixth time: I can easily say that this was the best I have ever seen them. Maybe it had to do with the fact that after seeing them five times before, I was finally at the front. Coldplay's stage set-up is huge; like it's meant to have an effect on people who are all the way in the back of the crowd just as much as it's giving those in the front a reaction...but up close it's insane. Because everything is so magnified at that close distance, you almost feel like you're on the stage itself for a moment.. That just took my breath away. Then again, maybe it had to do with the crowd. It was also the first time I went to a Coldplay show and everyone around me was a giant, huge Coldplay fan-nerd like me. To my left, to my right, in front of me, behind me....Everyone was talking about Coldplay's music, Coldplay shows, the new album. I saw tons of homemade shirts... I couldn't believe it! There were a group of guys to my left who were dying to hear Charlie Brown in person. These guys sang all the words, didn't fuss at all the jumping and were just friggin' happy. It made the experience a bazillion times more beautiful. I left the park that night thinking "well damn, it is great to be a Coldplay fan." The band could feel the love and they let it show in their set. I can't wait for this thing to officially kick off, 'cos after getting back from Coldplay, everyone and everything is no fun, lol.

I feel like I have to come out of Coldplaying hiding to say that Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall sounds so much better live. I couldn't believe myself actually anticipating it?! But I was. That was a great ACL set. A shout-out to all who will be in Atlanta next weekend. Can't wait!

Hi Jane, thanks for the information. I got in touch with them, and they ended up transferring the money to my bank account with no problems, so I'm glad that didn't end up being a pain in my butt. I guess I'll use the returned money for some of my more grown-up responsibilities...

Good morning Coldplayers! My friend and I have been pretty much bummed for the past 3 days, since we got the email of the cancellation. I'm dissapointed...she's angry and says it's unfair. We had our super cheesy t-shirts and glow sticks and everything! I guess we'll save them for another day since there's no concert now. Ironically, we went to the Charlotte, NC show in a last-minute turn of events. We were so friggin' excited to have made it there, knowing that we'd get to see them again Sunday, even closer and crazier. Of course that never happened. So after getting this email, we're thinking, "crap, I'm glad we went to Charlotte, but now I'm even more glad." It's actually bittersweet, though. I was wondering if most of you received your refunds already??? I bought my tickets with a card I no longer have, and I wanted to know if I should probably call LiveNation and ask them how I can get my refund properly? I'm afraid they're gonna rip me off and say, "Nope. Sorry. You break you buy" even though I did buy, just with an old card! Whatever, I'm not going to rant about how much they suck... ...But if the show was indeed scratched because of low ticket sales, then LiveNation and those in charge of pricing have no one to blame but themselves. Saying premium seats are unavailable days before tickets go on sale, but then magically making them available weeks before the concert is scamming, I don't care what anyone says. Maybe they would have made more cash had they had tickets for sale that justified the price?? Just sayin' At the end of the day, I saw Coldplay four times this tour, so I feel like I have nothing to really complain about. And my apologies go out to all the Coldplayers and fans who made massive travel arrangements to come to the Tampa gig, or were eager to see the band here for the first time. What a lousy way to go out :( I'm sorry :(
